From: info@nraila.org Subject: NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 11, No. 6 Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 21:48:54 -0500 DOYLE SHAMELESSLY LINKS CARRY VETO WITH COLUMBINE, THEN SHILLS FOR MONEY Throughout the debate over Right-to-Carry, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle (D-Wisc.) and his cohorts tried to deflect the matter with their constant assertions that there were other, more pressing, issues the state needed to deal with. Now, however, obviously fearful of the broad-based grassroots opposition to his veto of Right-to-Carry and gun owners` willingness to make their displeasure known at the polls this fall, Doyle is changing his tune, and making Right-to-Carry a centerpiece of his legislative election efforts for this fall`s election. Doyle has launched an on-line "astroturf" campaign to try and justify his anti-freedom veto. And if it isn`t bad enough that a sitting governor would crow about vetoing a self-defense measure enjoyed by law-abiding Americans in 37 other states, he also shamelessly uses his website? www.noconcealedweapons.com?to raise money! In his on-line screed, the Governor calls the proposed Right-to-Carry law, which was passed by overwhelming majorities in the Legislature, "one of the most extreme laws in the country." Doyle also brazenly tries to link citizens lawfully exercising their right to self-defense with the acts of two twisted murderers in the Columbine shootings, and calls the bill`s passage "politics at its worst." Doyle ends his tirade with a pitch for money, and proudly implies that his veto was a "commitment to protect...and improve the lives of our citizens." Despite Doyle`s shameless shill for money and faulty doomsday predictions, law-abiding Wisconsin citizens will not be duped into believing the lies surrounding this most important issue, and they will not sit idly by while the Governor, with a stroke of his pen, hangs out a sign at the state`s borders saying Wisconsin is open for business for criminals! This desperation Hail Mary pass by the Governor is proof certain that he and his anti-gun cronies in Madison are scared silly of the grassroots prowess Wisconsin`s lawful gun owners will exercise in this year`s elections. However, we must lay the groundwork now to ensure that we can deliver on Election Day! NRA, along with our state affiliate, the Wisconsin Rifle & Pistol Association (WRPA), understand that the only way we are going to add Wisconsin to the growing list of states that recognizes their citizens right to defend themselves is to change the make up of the legislature so we can pass Right-to-Carry in the Badger State. The first step toward this end is to attend the WRPA`s annual meeting, where NRA-ILA will host a FREE Grassroots-Election Workshop to train NRA members on effective grassroots activism for this year`s election. Unlike the Governor`s pseudo-grassroots efforts, NRA-ILA`s Workshop will give attendees practical training to help ensure victory for gun owners on Election Day 2004. The Workshop will be held on Saturday, March 20, 2004, at the Regency Suites, in Green Bay. NRA members who are interested in attending should contact the NRA-ILA Grassroots Division at (800) 392-VOTE (8683) for additional details and to R.S.V.P. NRA members may also register on-line at: www.nraila.org/workshops/. ------------------------------------------------- Face it Doyle is an idiot and a panderer of the worst sort. Not only is he not a man of his word, he is a liar and uses the smear tactics of lies, hate, irrational fears and deciet to try and bully his way along. The man has to go, and go now. There is a recall drive on ( www.recalldoye.com ) and I will do anything I can to spear head this from Michigan. I also fear that there are far too many sheeple, and stupid sheeple at that, in Wisconsin and that I will be doing more than 70% of the law abiding gun owners in that state. I again urge anyone that gives a rats arse about the second Amendment and gun ownership in the United States to e mail in your opinion to Gov Gray Doyle.I urge you to voice your support to the Doyle Recall as well. More than that, contact your Senators and Congressmen and Women, both Federally and at the State Level and let them know what you think about being able to own a gun. Let them know you are active in the fight to keep the Bill Of Rights as written and specifically the 2nd Amendment intact. If you have the time to read my post, while I am on my soapbox, you have the time to send a few emails. The NRA-ILA site has a locator that will help you find your officials. The question is not wether or not you will ever carry. It is not wether or not you live in Wisconsin. The issue is wether or not you want to continue to own your guns, whatever they may be.
